Re: GtKaP Interview Thread 2: Vaynor

Thank you wxdruid. Say hi to Catlover for me and get all this massive flooding rain and devastating tornadoes to stop already! I sent my tithe of chocolate. Honest.

Up next, with a brain in a jar that may or may not be his, we have Vaynor! Ask him questions! Get responses. Take standardized testing to new levels!

Reinholdt's Riveting and Rhetorical Questions:What question would you like to be asked? What traits do you look for in an ideal pet? What is the square root of Pi?What's your favorite OOTS strip? What's your favorite Erfworld strip?How does your ITP persona relate to you in real life?Sadistic choice time!

I think Krade is protesting the use of the word mad in in the phrase mad scientist as it promotes ambiguity. Are they angry? Are they crazy? Some of both? Not to mention, it also often connotates some degree of evilness. In the future we should be more careful to use proper classification.

Re: GtKaP Interview Thread 2: Vaynor

I like to think that I'm a pretty nice person, a trait I admire greatly.

3. Roses or orchids?

Roses, if I had to choose.

4. What sustains you, keeps you going every day?

Multiple biomechanical processes. Metaphorically? The beauty of the natural world and those that I love.

5. How did you get to be so awesome?

I'm not that narcissistic.

6. Where were you ten years ago, and what do you know now that you wish you knew back then?

I was 8 years old, so probably in 4th grade being obnoxious. I think my 8 year-old self thought he know far more than he did, and probably wouldn't tale my advice.

7. If the human race vanished tomorrow, leaving only you and one other person to keep you company, who would you want that person to be?

Probably my girlfriend.

8. Who is one person who died before you were born that you'd most like to speak with?

John Steinbeck.

9. When your life comes to an end, how do you want to be remembered/what do you want to be remembered for?

I'd like to be remembered for the differences I made in people's lives.

10. Ga! These questions have taken a turn for the depressing! Quick, what is your favorite lolcat!? (Bonus cookies for posting a pic.)

I find lolcats to be depressing.

11. What super-power would you want to use to stop Godzilla if he was attacking where you live?

The power to safely relocate godzillas to their natural habitat.

12. Beards or babies?

Babies.

13. Have you ever made up a word? If so, what is that word and what is its definition?

Nope.

14. Define the following word: whiloplenulent?

Whiloplenulent (adj.): the quality of having too many things to do while at the same time not wanting to do them.

Ex: The whiloplenulent accountant was overwhelmed during tax season.

15. What's an old-fashioned song or short schmaltzy bit of poetry that's stuck in your head?

I try to avoid schmaltziness.

16. Favorite mythological monster?

I'm not sure of he counts as a monster, but I rather like Bercilak de Hautdesert (the Green Knight of Arthurian legend).

17. Enough of this! I am your arch-nemesis! Where will we fight our final, climactic battle?

Wherever you decide to attack me, I presume.

18. In #17, above, did you defeat me? If so, how?

Unless I could resort to non-violent means, no; I'm a pacifist.

19. Do you prefer the silly questions or the serious ones?

I prefer the serious ones.

20. Why did you decide to submit yourself to these torturous, probing questions?

Why did you decide to ask them?

That's a hard question, it would depend on what powers I had. I don't think I'd really want an alias, though.

I'd use them if I needed them, or give them to someone who did.

or ?

Re: GtKaP Interview Thread 2: JediSoth

Thank you Vaynor. You can finish the last question if you'd like. Or ignore it completely. Whatever your head alien tells you to do.

Up next, we have JediSoth! Not to be confused with a lazy Jedi. Please give him a warm welcome.

Re: GtKaP Interview Thread 2: JediSoth

This should prove most illuminating for those of you who don't know me (which is probably 99% of this message board).

Up next, we have JediSoth! Not to be confused with a lazy Jedi. Please give him a warm welcome.

Reinholdt's Riveting and Rhetorical Questions:What question would you like to be asked? "Will you sign my copy of Wings of Twilight?"

What traits do you look for in an ideal pet? Ease of care. Needy pets annoy me. I only now have a cat because it belonged to my late wife and I feel getting rid of her is wrong (it's a needy cat).

What is the square root of Pi?1.781 or a cube of sweet potato.

What's your favorite OOTS strip? Hmm... Difficult to choose. The one that still cracks me up, after all this time, is the bonus strip spoofing "Let's all go to the lobby" (A Brief Intermission). "Bardic Nudity" series still cracks me up, too.

What's your favorite Erfworld strip?I have grown to like Erfworld, but I don't have any one favorite strip.

How does your ITP persona relate to you in real life?I'm a little more quite in my real-life interactions than I am online, and possibly more curmudgeonly.

Sadistic choice time! You must choose to save either the life of your most loved one or the lives of a large group of strangers. Which do you choose?I typically don't like strangers, so I guess I'll save the life of my most loved one.

I have a love-hate relationship with love. I ruined myself financially for love, only to feel betrayed at the end. And yet, it was love that pulled me out of that pit.

Friendship?

I value friendship very much. I don't make friends easily, but when I do consider someone a friend, I want to hang onto that connection for as long as possible.

Freedom?

Freedom is greatly underappreciated by the average American these days. My mother escaped from East Germany and lived through the Russian invasion during WWII. I visited East Germany when it was still under Soviet control behind the Iron Curtain during the height of the Cold War. People think they're being oppressed in this country right now? Please.

What is the color of your aura?
I was told once that it's gold-flecked.

What does your essence taste like?
I'm not sure. I've never been sampled by a soul-drinker that I'm aware of.

What’s your elemental affinity?
FIRE. FIRE FIRE FIRE.

Who would you ask to the next Playground Prom, if we had one?
My wife, whom isn't on this message board.

Are you part of any other online communities?
As JediSoth: ENWorld, RPGNet, OK--Your Turn, Fear the Boot, Dragonsfoot.org, Gary Con forums, Kenzer & Co. Forums, d20 Radio forums. As hccummings: Kindleboards.

What fictional character do you most identify with?
Spock. I almost always feel like an outsider.

Socks: Yes or no?
Yes, almost always.

What’s your pony name?
Brightstar. Don't ask.

Do you know any Playgrounders in real life?
No, I don't think so.

What is the highest compliment you have ever received?
My wife thinks I'm a fantastic writer. Other than that, I rarely receive compliments.

What is the highest compliment you can imagine receiving?
See the previous question.

What do you want to be when you grow up?
An astronaut. Unfortunately, I grew up and became a writer. Still, I'll take it.

What’s your favorite greeting?
I usually just say "Hi." Anything more complicated than that makes me feel disingenuous (especially "Nice to meet you."). I don't know if meeting this person is going to be nice or not when I first meet them. That should be a way of saying goodbye, instead.
